Should iPhoto library work from an external USB drive?
Also occasionally a photo will show signs of corruption with half of the picture a strange color. Again when looking at thumbnails and double clicking the photo is fine. Then after maybe 20 minutes of use and quitting and restarting iPhoto from the external USB drive the library will show as having no photos.
iPhoto works perfectly when the library is on the internal hard disk or on an external firewire drive so I am wondering whether the speed of the USB drive is causing problems or if it is a faulty drive?
Thanks for any advice
